Dubai International Airport (DXB) has once again secured the top spot in the Airports Council International’s (ACI) 2024 Air Connectivity Ranking for the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, reaffirming its status as a global aviation leader.
The ranking reflects DXB’s expansive reach, with the airport currently connecting passengers to over 265 destinations across six continents. This global network continues to play a key role in facilitating international trade, tourism, and economic growth.
Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, hailed the recognition as a testament to the airport’s strategic importance.
“Connectivity is the cornerstone of relevance in global aviation,”
he said.
“What sets DXB apart is not only the scale of our network, but the consistency and quality of the connections the airport provides.”
Griffiths emphasized that DXB’s success goes beyond numbers, highlighting its operational efficiency.
“Our strength lies in combining reach with efficiency, ensuring fast, seamless and secure journeys for tens of millions of guests each year,”
he added.
The accolade also highlights the collective effort behind the airport’s performance. Griffiths credited the “oneDXB spirit” — a unified commitment from airline partners, airport staff, and the broader Dubai community — for shaping a model of connectivity that is agile, guest-centric, and globally impactful.
As international travel rebounds and global mobility continues to evolve, DXB’s consistent top ranking signals Dubai’s continued influence in shaping the future of aviation.
